Little known but beautiful! The Langenberg lies between Bruchhausen, Wiemeringhausen, Niedersfeld and Willingen. Rothaar and Uplandsteig run directly over the summit. There is a stamp of the Assinghauser hiking pin on the cross.

The landscape in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve is unique. A nice open area with lots of views. In late summer the colorful Besenheide, in winter when there is snow it is a beautiful cross-country skiing area.
